For those of you that haven’t heard the story behind our name,  Atomic Number Ten, I thought you may be interested.  When brainstorming the name, it was important for me to capture the identity of a fresh, new vintage store with a funky, unique name.  I’ve always loved fashions from the 1980’s, especially the plethora of neon colors that can always make you smile!  While also being a bit of a science nerd in high school, I looked to the period table of elements for inspiration.  And the element Neon happens to have an atomic number of ten.  And that’s how Atomic Number Ten was born and the reason for the vintage chemistry decor in the store!

Also, a special congrats to Park+Vine, which will be moving to Main Street late September! We can’t wait to have them as a neighbor!  http://www.parkandvine.com/?p=3931

This fabulous vintage lounge set has returned to Atomic Number Ten!  We found the furniture at an estate sale last fall and it was adopted by a neighbor of Atomic Number Ten.  Sadly, the owner has moved but now we’ve got it back in the store and it’s ready to find a new home.  The patio set is includes 2 loveseats, 2 chairs, and a two tiered coffee table!  The seating is covered in a mid-century atomic green and gray patterned vinyl!   All for just $300. 

We’ve been rearranging things at Atomic Number Ten to make some room for lots of new vintage treasures.  Here is my favorite new set up in the store - complete with a vintage Ranally Simplified World Map and a pair of 70’s lamps and end tables!  I found the map at local estate sale and looks to have had plenty of use.  But it has found the perfect home here at our store!  

And don’t forget- tonight is Final Friday in Over-the-Rhine and we’ll be open until 10:30pm!

We’ve got a bunch of new items at Atomic Number Ten including housewares and clothing for men and women!  With Father’s day coming up, I decided to feature these great vintage metal beer trays.  Each tray is $15 and in the store now!

Blatz beer was founded in 1846 in Milwaukee until 1958 when Pabst purchased the brand.  It is now produced by Miller Brewing Company via the Pabst Brewing Company.  Schlitz was founded in Milwaukee in 1849 and is still produced today.  The Schlitz beer tray is dated 1971 and has some rust, but I think has the most character.  Budweiser was introduced in 1876 by Anheuser-Busch as the first truly American Beer.  

We had a great turn out for Second Sunday in OTR, last Sunday, June 13th!  Thanks to everyone that came out for the event.  Main Street was lined with craft and food vendors and everyone brought their dogs out to join the dog show. It’s so rewarding to see people coming to OTR and having a wonderful time in the area!

Mark your calendars for the last three Second Sundays of the 2010 season: July 11th - Global Groove, August 8th - Neighbor Block Party, September 12th - Eco-OTR!! And if you’d like to be a vendor, you can apply here http://secondsundayinotr.org/

The coveted loin cookie jar was found in Shelbyville, Indiana.  When you open him up, he roars “get your hand out my cookie jar rrroaarr”!  He has made so many people laugh in the store, but it’s time for him to find a loving home.  He will be for sale starting Saturday for $45.  So please help find him a good home, or at least come say goodbye…
